I just LOVE the inhale part! 🙂 Thank you, Jan Vette, for sharing that practical (and a tad whimsical) tip!

It is a good reminder that MANY pure essential oils are fabulous household cleaners, including lemon, tangerine, orange and grapefruit (hugely antibacterial), cinnamon bark or leaf (good for floors, as cited above, not to mention cleaning counter tops…keeps away those pesky, tiny red ants…and toilet bowls), and rosewood, for polishing antique furniture or wooden instruments like Native American flutes.

I was struggling to remove the adhesive residue on the new stainless steel vessel sink in our little casita…and remembered that Sweet Birch is wonderful for that. Sure enough…a couple of drops, and the residue virtually “slid” off. Guess her tag line could be “elbow grease in a bottle”!

Sure beats going to the grocery store and getting a headache in the “detergent” aisle because of all of the toxic and synthetic chemicals in commercially-produced cleaners.

Warm regards,
